New draft format not a good change

Like those Geico commercials with the Slowskys, sometimes you just like things to be a little more methodical, the NFL Draft is one of those things.
Look, I’ve watched the draft every year of my life from pick 1, to pick 255 (or whatever the last pick happens to be) since 1994 I believe. The best [...]

M’s need new owner

I think the roots of this team’s problem begin with the ownership. We have Japanese majority owners who don’t seem to even care about this club. I mean when was the last time you saw our owner (and I DON’T EVEN KNOW HIS NAME THAT’S HOW BAD IT IS) do anything around the club. Does [...]

Who the Seahawks should take

The 2008 NFL Draft is upon us and another non-intriguing draft it appears to be for the Seahawks with just one first round pick and it sitting at 25 makes you just roll you eyes and wonder when the team is going to either get up to 31 or 32 or just stay in the [...]

Mariners drop third straight, fall to A’s 4-3

Wow. I don’t even know what to say anymore. I’ve said it since July when he first started managing this team that John Maclaren is a terrible manager and needs to replaced. Every night it seems that there’s at least 3 or 4 questionable (to say the least) decisions that go on in the game. [...]

Mariners re-sign Kenji Johjima to 3 yr extension

At first glance this is a complete head scratcher. Johjima is hitting .180 with an OPS below .600 and really isn’t that great of a defensive catcher. However, none of that compares to the fact that they have a great catching prospect waiting in the wings, and has been waiting in the wings in Jeff [...]

Survivor fans vs. favorites episode 11 analysis

Man, there’s nothing I hate more than watching women in power, so obviously episode 11 was hell and every single aside with Natalie made me want to reach thru my TV and tear her head off! She and her two evil sisters (Parvati and Alexis) are playing a great game, you have to give them [...]

24 season analysis: Part 2

Just completed the entire Season 3 and I have to reaffirm my new stance that Season 3 is A LOT better than what I had previously believed. The season is so unbelievably dynamic, there’s so much going on and the plot and acting is very, very good. I think what originally turned me off — [...]

Isiah Thomas has the dream job

I have to tell you that when I heard of the latest restrictions placed on Isiah Thomas’ new role with the New York Knicks I absolutely laughed my ass off. After being fired as coach but kept on as a “consultant”, Thomas has been told that he will have zero influence in team decision-making and [...]

24 season analysis: Part 1

For the past couple of months I’ve been re-watching the seasons of 24 with my netflix subscription. With season 7 postponed because of the lame writer’s strike and Prison Break ending with just 13 episodes (stupidest move I’ve seen in my life), I needed to get my 24 fix some other way — that led [...]

Mariners vs. A’s 4/17 Game Thread

(update 10:05 p.m.) Just got back up from the clubhouse after the Mariners defeated the A’s 8-1 behind 7 innings of solid pitching by Carlos Silva who improves to 3-0 on the season.
Manager John MacLaren talked a lot about how Silva is just as important to the rotation as Hernandez and Bedard and although everyone’s [...]
